Aggression is back with punches and screams, and when you think you've had enough, you get punched again! This is a ripping album delivered at a break neck speed with no excuses, and no compromises. Aggression created an instant hell here with flames and all.
The best aspect of this album is the musicality of it. Despite going 200 miles per hour, it is a very audible record. You hear every little sound directly. Normally albums like that are blurry, and they often cover up a musicianship that is still developing. It’s not the case here. All members of Aggression are top notch players, and they give it to you straight. It’s actually incredible that album this fast can be sounding so clear and vital. Also, the use of operatic female vocals here and there add a very special mood to the songs.
Lyrically, as the title suggests, it’s all of those things your parents warned you about, but of course you didn’t listen! Once again, Aggression takes no punches here and goes for the jugular, choking you until submission. From Hell with Hate is truly an underground release, and it stays true to the roots Aggression is known for.
Denis Barthe and Dave Watson have an incredible guitar connection. Their sound is heavy and not easy to penetrate. Great tone, and very memorable leads. Drummer, Ryan, Idris, is a very versatile player. He can play superfast, blast, but has the ability to slow things down when needed. Idris along with bass player, Kyle Hagen, give Aggression to ammunition it needs to blast anything in its sight. Denis of course towers over it all with his psychotic vocals.
From Hell with Hate is an album with a serious attitude! It’s a wild ride from song to song, and the stop varies each time you get through this album. This music is charged, and it holds you against the wall powerless. Aggression is brutality at its best!
